Basic MathUsing the intermediate value theorem, determine, if possible, whether the function f has at least one real zero between a and b.
f(x)=x4-3x²-6; a=3, b=5
Select the correct choice below and, if necessary, fill in the answer boxes to complete your choice.
A. By the intermediate value theorem, the function does not have at least one real zero between a and b because f(a)= 48
and f(b)=
B. By the intermediate value theorem, the function has at least one real zero between a and b because f(a)=
C. It is impossible to use the intermediate value theorem in this case.

Basic MathSelect the correct answer from the drop-down menu.
A company sells its product to distributors in boxes of 10 units each. Its profits can be modeled by this equation, where p is the profit after selling n boxes.
p = n² + 300m + 100,000
Use this equation to complete the statement.
The company breaks even, meaning the profits are $0, only when it sells boxes.
